No Western Plan for Kosovo, US ambassador says

There is no Western plan for Kosovo, no coordinated proposal by the members of the Quint and no 11-point plan, US Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott told Belgrade daily Blic on Thursday.

According to Blic, claims have appeared in the public about the countries of the so-called Quint – the US, Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy – adopted a developed plan to pressure and blackmail Serbia in order to achieve full independence for Kosovo and separate Serbia from Russia.

The claims of a Western plan and coordination Quint proposal are the “fantasy of imaginative media”, the US ambassador said, adding that exchanges of views between countries is part of normal diplomatic activity.

A sustainable agreement on Kosovo has to be the result of negotiations between leaders from Belgrade and Pristina, Scott said. The ambassador feels that the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue under European Union auspices should end with a comprehensive agreement to normalize relations through legally binding documents.
